Self Defense and Street Fighting - IMPORTANT basics 

This RU-vid channel is an incredible online school by itself!! Brother you just rock!! 🤘🤘

I’m the same. No guard in a fight. Be alert, but you don’t need to show your intentions. When you attack it will comes from anywhere and directly at a target. And don’t stop until you know it’s enough. Street fights are over in a few seconds. Not 2 minutes in a ring with an audience and reward if you win . Good lesson Sifu King ❤. Sifu Spence is spot on 👍🏻🙏

Awesome tips for self - defence, definitely need more realistic self defence scenario practice in classes. People just get stuck in drills and sparring but nothing compared to Street Fighting. Thanks for Sharing!

Something I have found useful is to practice using a loose guard in everyday life. I have a bunch of mannerisms, like scratching my elbow or clasping my hands together, that I practise when I pass people coming towards men on the street. I have not been in a situation that required it, but a couple of times someone has approached me asking for 'bus money' and I automatically have my hands in front of me, which is reassuring.

Your mental teaching about Wing Chun is extremly useful. This kind of videos of yours pushed me to buy your udemy study set in first place. I just want to say that, in order to understand the mentality of Wing Chun (atleast Mindful Wing Chun's perspective) do not hesitate to follow them. They can lead you some different ideas which you cannot find easly. And thank you for your sharing those kind of knowledge with us.

Great tips.

The controlling of the distance in a deceptive manner with your hands without being in an on guard position, is known here in the UK as "the fence." Geoff Thompson who was a bouncer & who is a very well respected reality based martial artist is probably the most well known person for making this technique popular. He has written a book called "The Fence" which you can download off of epdf.pub & you can find his instructional videos on "The Fence" on RU-vid & I highly recommend his book "Watch My Back."

The most neglected aspect. Thank you for reminding us.

I agree and am pro sparring as well

When the video starts from "first things... , I know Sifu Nima King will explain alot. Thanks for the insights. I think when we do self defense in street fight, internal wing chun will be the system because every punches and kicks are natural (not just a form like movies style). Cmiiw

Nima did you touch hands with Admam Mizner on the THE MARTIAL CAMP ?

Sorry, but as a traditional wing chun guy, you really want to be in close combat range. That range is the most advantageous for us. It stops any further attack from a strike, kick or take down. And yes, you do want to keep your hands up in the middle to protect both sides. Having your hands up allows you to intercept the attack before it even comes close to our face. That is one of the MAJOR flaws in boxing, is that they keep their hands on the sides of their head, which doesn't give them much time to respond to an attack. It also pulls the hand away from that side, leaving an opening we can step into and exploit! Now, if they DO, by chance, catch the attack (which is rare, if you do it properly), then you can step into the now-open area where the hand once was and attack again, SUCCESSFULLY! This is because it is very difficult to bring the hand back in time, since it is too far away from the point of attack. I know that in WSL's system you guys use more sensitivity because you lack the proper footwork (the circle inside the triangle), angled step to the outside of the attacking arm and a body rotation towards the attack to see and stop it. It also pulls you away from the attack, making it easier to enter in safely once contact is made. They also go past center when punching or blocking, and overcommit their response. This means they have to finish the strike first, pull the hand back, reset the stance, THEN do another strike. In wing chun, we NEVER overcommit, so we can, in the RARE case we miss the strike, can change direction in mid stream (change a punch to a palm strike, for example), and continue on to the target. Remember, the further away your hands are from the center, the less likely you are to stop the attack.

Yeah, guard your head and don't fall over, hand position and stance, KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid. Glad to see you realise duelling and self-defence are two totally different things, too many people confuse the two.
